Thieves also made off with underwater equipment
used for deep-sea diving films such as lights, cameras,
cables, connectors, VCR editing equipment and micro-
phones.

Computers were also stolen.

The total haul of stolen goods added up to $201,170,
according to North Vancouver RCMP Const. Ian Daniels.

“The native artwork pieces were high quality,” said
Daniels.

About two hours after the midnight burglary, a person
in Vancouver saw some of the stolen goods being
unloaded out of a Can- Dive van (also stolen) in the 1000-
block of Pacific Avenue.

Daniels said the witness called the phone number at the
side of the Can-Dive van, but the information was not
given to police until six pours later.

The stolen van was later recovered in Stanley Park.

Among the art pieces were a $25,000 potlatch mask,
prints, carved-wooden boxes and masks that are valued at
$5,000 each.
